If you decide to purchase a Fitbit, the companion app will give you a deep look into your activity. The Fitbit app has evolved over the years and now provides tracking for many health-related factors.
One benefit to using Fitbit as your workout tracker? If you are carrying your phone and forget to wear your Fitbit, the app will still capture the steps you take. Be sure to clean your Fitbit to ensure it lasts.
